Nothing is

Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.

-Thomas Szasz, author, professor of psychiatry (b. 1920)

Swell my heart

How gently and lovingly

you waken my heart
Where in secret you dwell alone
And in your sweet breathing
Filled with good and glory
How tenderly you swell my heart with love
- John of the Cross, "The Living Flame of Love"


"I just want God. I want God inside me. I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on water."
- Elizabeth Gilbert, "eat pray love"

Near you

"Acquire inner peace and a multitude will find their salvation near you."

- Catherine deHueck Doherty
